Title: Presence notifications
Inventor: CHRISTIAN LUND
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 2015-12-14
Abstract: A method and system for providing presence notifications on behalf of an endpoint 6 that does not participate in presence notification. The endpoint 6 receives services from a switch 8 which supplies status indications of the endpoint to a presence server 4. The presence server 4 uses the status indications to generate presence data and creates a virtual or dummy roster to process the information and send out notifications. The dummy roster may be created responsive to receiving a subscription to presence notifications for the non-participating endpoint 6 by a participating endpoint 2. The endpoint 6 may be unable to participate as it is a dumb, legacy, POTS, analogue, landline, fixed line telephone or terminal. The endpoint 6 may be capable of participating but unable to do so due to policy or security reasons. An aggregation server 10 may be used to aggregate information from multiple switches 8 to be sent to the presence server 4.

Title: Method for deriving a temporal predictive motion vector, and apparatus using the method
Inventor: BAE KEUN LEE
IPC: H04N19/61
Filed: 2012-09-06
Abstract: A method of decoding comprising obtaining a spatial prediction motion vector, obtaining a temporal motion prediction vector, generating a motion vector candidate list, and performing inter prediction based on the candidate list. The spatial prediction motion vector is obtained using a motion vector of a neighbouring spatial block adjacent the current block. The temporal motion prediction vector is obtained using a motion vector of a collocated block. The collocated block is determined based on whether a boundary of the current block adjoins a boundary of a largest coding unit (LCU). A candidate list is then generated including the spatial prediction motion vector and the temporal prediction motion vector, and inter prediction is performed. The block is then reconstructed from the predicted sample and a residual sample. One of a first and second block may be determined as the collocated block based on the boundary adjoins the boundary of the LCU and the first block is adjacent a bottom right position of the current block.

IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2018-09-20
Abstract: A control system for a vehicle (100 Fig. 1) has at least one controller 10 and obtains first cost data 800, and second cost data 880 different from the first cost data, and both sets of cost data relate to a portion of a terrain over which the vehicle is intending to travel. In use, the first cost data and the second cost data are used to determine the route of the vehicle over the terrain. The first cost data may be used to generate a cost map of the wheels of the vehicle and the second cost data may be used to generate a cost map of the body of the vehicle. The cost data may be determined by a range of sensors, such as image sensors (185C Fig.3), and such sensors may determine both an obstacle and a non-obstacle cost data map, and from a range of possible vehicle trajectories an optimum trajectory can be selected based upon the trajectory cost data.
